Chapter 73: A Politically Incorrect View of History
On the evening of August 17, 2017
With Li Tianya's sudden arrival, the air in Fengyun Tower seemed to freeze for a while. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info
This kind of atmosphere is really strange and incomprehensible to outsiders.
As the leader of the previous generation of the Li family and the biological father of the current head of the family, Li Tianya's appearance at the family banquet was a normal thing, so why make a fuss about his presence?
However, for many family members here, as long as they know the inside story, they can understand how strange Li Tianya's presence is!
Li Tianya's cultivation of the Tianya Sword is close at hand, and the fact that he accidentally injured the Yuan Shen and caused damage to his intelligence is no secret within the family. This once powerful genius sword cultivator is now arranged to live in seclusion in the depths of the Li family's compound, completely ignoring external affairs, and rarely attending family banquets, so as not to say any ridiculous words in front of everyone.
In fact, a month ago, Lu Xin tried to invite his father-in-law to the thatched house, but at that time, Li Tianya listened to Lu Xin's words, and his answer was like this.
"Oh, the fiftieth birthday banquet of the current head of the family, you ask me if I can go? I think about it, since he is fifty years old, he should be my brother? But why is the name Li Fengyun so familiar, it seems to be the same as my son. Do I have such an older brother? ”
After hearing such an answer, of course Lu Xin couldn't let his father-in-law attend the family banquet, otherwise the old man and Li Fengyun would really recognize each other's brothers, and the Li family compound in Xiangzhou would make a big joke for a hundred years.
However, at this moment, Li Tianya suddenly appeared in Fengyun Tower, which really made many people's hearts lift. Lu Xin couldn't help but put down the light tea, and was ready to come to greet with a look of surprise.
Li Tianya waved his hand and motioned for Lu Xin to sit down: "Don't worry about me, I'm not here to attend the family banquet, and my sober time is limited, so I won't greet you, just continue to eat and drink well." ”
The understatement in these words made many people directly open their mouths.
Such a tone and such a demeanor are the sober Li Tianya back then!
It has been many, many years since he practiced Tianya and injured the Yuan Shen, and no one has ever seen Li Tianya like this. For a while, several old people stood up on the spot, excited.
Li Tianya shook his head: "I'm sorry brothers, I have a chance to catch up with you again in the future, I'm here to find someone." ”
As he spoke, he walked to Wang Jiu's side, and as his footsteps approached, Li Tianya's expression on his face obviously began to waver, excited, trance, and relieved...... The complicated mood finally turned into a sigh, and then he nodded at Wang Jiu, and reached out to press his shoulder without saying anything.
The next moment, the two disappeared into Fengyun Tower at the same time, and everyone was in sight.
――
"I'm sorry, but I have a limited amount of time to be sober, and the mere people like to waste my time on endless boring topics, so I took it upon myself to bring you here for the sake of purity."
Li Tianya's voice was a little tired, and he bowed to Wang Jiu.
The two of them were in a small secret room, the walls were sealed, and only a jade talisman above their heads emitted a gentle light, illuminating the entire space.
Li Tianya explained: "Please don't get me wrong, I don't have malicious intentions, I just want to be sure of one thing, one ...... A question that has plagued me all my life. It's not a prison or a Jedi, it's just the top floor of the Fengyun Tower. ”
Wang Jiu didn't care about Li Tianya's teleportation like a sneak attack, he just nodded and agreed: "It seems that it is also the core of this imitation version of the Demon Slaying Blade, take it and move forward and sweep away the demons." ”
Li Tianya's eyes froze: "Slay the Demon Blade!" You know Demon Slayer! ”
As he spoke, he couldn't hold back the excitement in his heart, and began to walk back and forth in the secret room at a rapid pace, muttering to himself as he walked.
"Since this is the case, everything makes sense, my theory is correct, the era of the flood is by no means whimsical, and the great war is real! The 'inhuman' hero who turned the tide is real! ”
After shaking for a while, Li Tianya suddenly found that Wang Jiu was beside him, shook his head and said, "I'm sorry I'm a little out of shape, but what you just said is likely to confirm a conjecture that I have stored in my heart for more than fifty years." I can't believe that I will be able to see my dream come true in my lifetime! ”
"When I couldn't achieve the end of the world and my spirit was damaged, I thought that I was destined to become a mentally retarded old man who drooled and talked nonsense, and died alone in the hospital bed. And now...... Although my sober state is only temporary, and I will eventually drool and talk nonsense, at least I have no regrets when I die in the hospital bed. In addition, if Xiangzhou really has a netherworld, I can tell Lin Yu when I see her that her husband is by no means a whimsical fanatic, his theory is correct, and what is wrong is those old stubborn people who can't eat scavengers...... But the premise is that after going down to the underworld, I can restore the undamaged state of the original god, otherwise I will probably be so stupid that I call her mother, after all, her maternal characteristics are too distinct, and for the idiot who has been damaged by the original god, it is easy to arouse the instinct of the early breastfeeding period......"
After talking for a while, Li Tianya suddenly shook his head again: "I'm sorry, I'm still too excited." ”
Wang Jiu instructed at the right time: "You can try to use the Ice Heart Sword Technique. ”
"Makes sense." Li Tianya took a breath, and the true yuan in his body turned into a cold ice sword intent that wiped out his vitality, and froze his own Yuan Shen for a moment like killing himself, and in an instant, the excitement in his brain completely froze and dissipated.
At the same time, two nosebleeds spurted out wildly.
“…… Feels so much better. Li Tianya wiped his nosebleed with a handkerchief and said that he had calmed down, "I was only talking to myself just now, I guess you are still confused." But that's okay, I'll explain the ins and outs. ”
"If you're patient, I think it's better to start at the beginning." Li Tianya pondered for a moment and said, "As we all know, the history of Xiangzhou is a source of incomplete water. We know almost nothing about the part of 5,000 years ago, and the archive of history has basically been wiped out, and only some fragments are preserved in one sect, three courtyards, and seven great families. For thousands of years, although these fragments have not been lost, they have gradually been forgotten and even regarded as mythological tales of their predecessors...... Of course, this is not to blame the world for ignorance, it is true that those desolate fragments are too terrifying to be believed. For example, in this land, there was once a great war that destroyed the world and wiped out a highly prosperous immortal civilization. Another example is the famous Xiangzhou Li family, who used to be a logistics monk who served an earth-shattering man, and that big man was not even a human being, but had a vast world in his body......"
Speaking of this, Li Tianya glared at Wang Jiu with a scorching gaze, but then turned his head again and continued: "When I just inherited the position of the head of the family and obtained these inheritance fragments, I also didn't think about it. But later, when I went to Liantian City, participated in a gathering of the seven families of the Three Courtyards, and communicated with the rest of the families about the fragments of history, I found an interesting phenomenon - although the fragments of history in the possession of each family all described absurd stories, such as a genius girl who was worth millions of spirit stones at the age of fourteen, such as the immortal master who was born blind and pneumothorax but could understand all methods, and what is the world's first beauty who has no interest in human beings but suffers from fetishes...... However, if I look at these fragments together, I can't find any contradictions, and these absurd stories seem to share a set of self-consistent logic. This...... It's incredible. ”
Li Tianya pondered for a moment and explained from the opposite side: "You see, the myths and stories that are generally groundless and purely based on subjective conjecture will always have contradictions. For example, in some stories, the Xiangzhou continent is carried on the shell of a very, very large turtle. In other stories, the continent of Xiangshu is a sphere floating in the void. The two contradict each other, because the existence of the turtle determines the way many natural phenomena are explained. And those historical fragments of the flood era, which seem absurd on their own, but are in harmony with each other, if these fragments are used as puzzles, I can boldly piece together a bizarre but magnificent epic outline. ”
Speaking of this, Li Tianya sighed: "However, at that meeting, when I put forward this bold idea, there were few responses. Of course, the rebuttal points they put forward are not unreasonable. According to my puzzle piece, Xiangzhou once faced a completely desperate disaster, the power of the demon clan is incredibly strong even in mythological stories, and the immortal venerable who is almost ascending in the realm of the sky collapse can't even walk in front of the demon leader. Not to mention whether such a force is really possible, and if such a catastrophe exists, how can we survive? Will we unite and justice will prevail? If victory can come so cheaply, what immortals do we cultivate? Isn't it enough to have ideals and justice in your heart? ”
"Of course, those historical fragments also give a vague answer to this question, in a desperate situation, there is an 'inhuman' hero who stepped forward and led the world's creatures to fight back, and finally defeated the demons and kept the fire of mankind...... However, this answer is even more unacceptable. For us human beings, the concept that man is the spirit of all things and that the world is the world of human beings has long been deeply rooted. We have never thought that there is any living being in the world that is greater than human beings, let alone the creation of the future of mankind by 'non-humans'. The answer to the question of "inhuman" saving humanity may also make logical sense, but it is politically incorrect. ”
Saying that, Li Tianya himself laughed self-deprecatingly: "It is natural for a politically incorrect view of history to be rejected by people. Unless I can really produce conclusive evidence, they say, this politically incorrect history will be reduced to the level of myths and stories, and become part of the traditional culture of Xiangshu with historical limitations...... To be honest, at that meeting, several family heads, as well as the Holy Sect Sect Masters and the Dean of the Third Academy, were still very kind to me, although they didn't think so in their hearts, they didn't openly refute my face. But after that rally, I couldn't help but wonder, if these fragments were real, what if I assumed they were all real? Then, in the middle of the night, when I looked up at the bright moon, I always felt that in the dark, a voice seemed to tell me that the puzzle piece I imagined was the real thing. I just need a little proof of it. ”
